Medline Maxorb Extra Ag Silver Alginate

Maxorb Extra Ag is a highly absorbent, non woven pad composed of a high G (guluronic acid) calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and ionic silver. Exposure to wound exudate dissolves the silver and stimulates the release of silver ions. As more fluid is absorbed over time, more silver ions are released, creating a controlled-release antimicrobial effect. The silver ions protect from a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including MRSA and VRE. Plus Maxorb Extra Ag releases silver extremely small amounts that do not damage healthy tissue.

Maxorb Extra Ag is biocompatible, non-irritating, non-sensitizing and will not harm new granulation tissue.Features

Contraindications: Third-degree burns, Dry or lightly exudating wounds, Individuals with a known sensitivity to alginates or silver, To control heavy bleeding, Surgical implantation.

Change Frequency Dressing: change frequency will depend on wound condition and the level of exudate. Initially it may be necessary to change the dressing every 24 hours.
